I guess Shiro Jr is a high school kid with a school uniform and his dads Karate shirt draped on his shoulders.

edit. Some rough translation. It's the Son of Sanshiro named Sega Shiro and will have some online shorts starring this character going on until April. In other words. I wish I never made this topic as this shit is a waste of time. That's it. No game. No Saturn Mini. Just some online short videos with Sega Shiro doing...stuff.

Wouldn't any real announcements show up in those shorts, if anything? (I mean, Sanshiro's thing was to promote stuff in his videos after all…) Though I still wouldn't expect much aside maybe going through Sega's history (unless there's a surprise hiding in that).

It would be even nice if Sega Shiro was used to advertise brand new AAA games and Sega console...

but in reality, seeing a normal schoolboy that pretend to be cool just because he is the son of a legend, that will advertise the current poor Sega line-up, is only pathetic, and yeah a total waste of time.

I'd be pretty surprised if they do a Mega CD Mini next. Who is clamoring for that? If you were going by the next most popular Sega system, the next thing should be either Saturn Mini if you're looking at Japan, Game Gear Mini if you're looking at North America, or SMS Mini if you're looking at the rest of the world. Also SMS and Game Gear are easier to emulate and need less space for games, and they could be combined into one unit (or not). I could see a Mega CD Mini happening eventually, but not before at least one of those.

Then again Sega was kinda dragged into this in the first place, they were reluctant to make the Mega Drive Mini at all for starters. So it's more likely that they won't bother with more minis any time soon (and the whole mini hype has died down in general anyway).

Maybe, but that would be kind of a shame. It seems like half of the work with the MD Mini was just them getting up to speed on making and distributing an actual hardware product. Another Mini console would be less costly to develop than the first one, because some of that existing work/investment can be utilized. On the other hand, I guess I shouldn't assume that anyone at Sega is capable of long-term thinking.

I didn't pay attention to this craze but do these mini consoles actually take CDs/carts, or do they only work from internal memory or SD cards? The Sega CD was stupidly big and the CDX/Multi-Mega is already a "mini" Mega CD. They could shrink that further into a compact discman sized device and still be able to load original discs; of course then they would not be able to retain the original design. Perhaps the CDX design could be retained, but made much thinner.
